Squigglefly
has a very large selection of digital images created by many very talented Artists.
I did not own any of their images prior to this challenge, but make no mistake
when I say I will be visiting them often, and you should too!

For today’s
challenge I was generously provided with this very cute image called “YUM”, which
speaks for itself!

I
created a C.A.S card for a change as I find some images just need to be front
and centre without any frills.

I
also challenged myself with this one too; given that I chose to make the cat black
and working with gray Copics to create black is still not my strong suit. I also attempted
to create the illusion of a real glass bowl using glossy accents.

Basically,
I like the way it turned out, minus the orange fish bleeding into the cats eyes
after I applied said glossy accents. (So, no close up shots this week). However, I definitely still need to work
on creating black with any of the gray collections. You know the age old adage; practice makes perfect!

One thing I
did do different though was I used my Neutral collection of gray tone markers,
and I must say that I like working with them much better than the Cool
collection. Not sure why yet, but I just do.

So, I hope my
card this week has inspired you enough to join us this week, but if not perhaps
stopping by the blog and taking a peek at my fellow D/Teamies creations will.

About Me

In 2000 I was stricken with a life altering illness that ended my professional career in law enforcement. You think your life is going according to plan, and then one day you wake up and it all changes. I have many physical disabilities that rob me of my independence. After overcoming many hurdles there came the day when I desperately needed to find something meaningful to do with my time. It had to be constructive, challenging, and had to keep my brain active. I tried so many different things that just didn’t light that spark, so I kept trying new things and so on. One day I found myself dabbling in the paper crafting world where I developed a passion for Copic Marker colouring, and guess what, I found that spark. Now I have a new passion, a new direction wherein that I want to learn more and more.
If somebody had of told me that I would eventually create a blog and display my artistic abilities within it I would have told them they were off their rocker! However, I didn't get here alone; together with the love of a wonderful man, a truly amazing family, my masterful friend Sean, and along with some awesome and wacky women friends, I was able to get it together.
